How has it worked cost wise ?
Is it comparable with off the peg as it looks amazing Ian. She really does :)

Cheers Adam, can't buy one off the peg really but it worked out cheaper than some of the shops custom builds. To get to this spec it would be about £4k

Still not re done the copter tape, but did fit the new saddle and the headset spacer.
Wheels had a delay as they didnt have any white hubs for about 2-3 months :shock: so went with black even though there was an option for red or gold. just don't think it would of looked right.

I then did the dreaded weigh in,



13.25KG

Not bad for a 160mm travel bike, let alone a 29er i think? Wheels should take it closer the 12.5KG hopefully.

Comfy, Hmm. its not too bad, but i would say maybe not for all dayers?
Fine for sunday morning jaunts if you got you padded nappys on.
It was about 100 grams lighter than the spoon which isnt heavy. I wonder how light the real ones are with carbon rails?

So the good but sad news is that my beloved Beyonce will sell tomorrow.
Problem now is my wheels won't turn up until mid Feb because of Chinese new year, so no kazza action for the near future, Dawn will be all spoilt with the attention.
